Wow, I've never seen the first picture before. I like the mountain in th background. Thanks for the lovely photos, Zubiaur!

That picture was printed in the American magazine "National Geographic" in the early 60s. I remember when I found that magazine back in the mid-1990s, I freaked out because it was such a great portrait. I was CRAZY back then!

I love the 4th pic you posted, I've seen other shots from this series but not this one. I always thought Yousuf Karsh shot this series (and those beautiful profile shots of Grace and Rainier) in Grace's apartment back in early 1956. I know Mr. Conant shot lots of engagement photos there as well at around the same time. Grace was a true professional. I would have lost my mind with all those pre-wedding portrait sessions and other plans!

My opinion is that they were happy together.Rainier was a good person and he was destroyed by Grace´s death.I think he never recovered from her death.In all the inteviews of Rainier,he looked so sad and nostalgic,he missed Grace so much.
